Grading II: Destination Dublin

The second Black Belt Poker Grading kicked off on Monday, February 01, coinciding with the launch of iPoker's new software updates.

20 poker players were selected from the Pre-Grading Selection week to take part in the trial, which guarantees 3 of the 20 automatic Blue Belt status and a €6,500 package to the 2010 Irish Open.
